This book presents a provocative examination of the immorality of profane swearing, arguing that the casual use of oaths in everyday conversation is not only impious but also a direct violation of human morality. The author demonstrates that oaths, when taken outside of a legal or religious context, are a form of idolatry that undermines the authority of both God and the state. They argue that the sanctity of oaths should be preserved for their intended purpose - to affirm the truth in matters of great importance - and when used flippantly, they lose their power and become a meaningless crutch. The book explores the historical and cultural significance of oaths, showing how they have been used throughout history to reinforce authority, maintain social order, and even as a means of divine intervention. However, the author cautions that the misuse of oaths can have serious consequences, eroding trust, breaking the peace, and ultimately leading to moral decay. This book will appeal to anyone who seeks a deeper understanding of the importance of language and the power of words.
